Material
tubes - mask - gradient

thank you to the tubers for their great work
open tubes, duplicate them and work with the copies
open mask and minimize it to tray
copy / paste gradient into the folder « gradients » of Corel PSP Folder
open mask and minimize to tray
TIP 1 -> if you don’t want to install a font -->
open it in a software as « Nexus Font » (or other font viewer software of you choice)
as long as both windows are opened (software and font), your font will be available in your PSP
TIP 2 -> from PSPX4, in the later versions of PSP the functions « Mirror » and « Flip » have been replaced by -->
« Mirror » --> image => mirror => mirror horizontal
« Flip » --> image => mirror => mirror vertical
to prevent the theft of tubes, they are no longer provided in the ZIP material
the only material provided is : decorations, masks and selections
you will have to use your personal collection
translator’s note : the Girl tube I chose in one of mine

Plugins
AP Lines / Lines Silverlining

translator’s note
« Chez Douceur » works with PSP X, I use PSP2019 to create my personal tags and write my translations

according to the version of PSP you use, the results might be slightly differents
don’t hesitate to change the blend modes of the layers to match your tubes and colors

colors
color 1 --> foreground color --> FG --> left click --> #e5d4cb
